The 2021 Brave Bunch Summer Treatment Program will run from July 19-23, 2021.
The camp simulates a classroom environment and provides guided opportunities for children to:
- Interact with new children and adults
- Participate in classroom-like activities such as morning meetings, circle time, show and tell, group creative projects
- Engage in field trips such as to the library or the park
- Play socializing games that promote verbal participation (“brave talking”) and spontaneous speaking

Costs associated with the camp are based on a sliding scale. During the application and screening process, each parent has an opportunity to meet with a representative who can answer questions concerning financial aspects of the camp.
